Windows is not limited to accessing partitions through drive letters either, it's just the existing convention.

You can mount partitions under directories just like you can in Linux/Unix.

PowerShell has Add-PartitionAccessPath for this:

> mkdir C:\Disk

> Add-PartitionAccessPath -DiskNumber 1 -PartitionNumber 2 -AccessPath "C:\Disk"

> ls C:\Disk

It will persist through reboots too.
